EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER THE
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the DVD/VCR if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a
warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. And when this happens, DVD/VCR's performance
will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the DVD/VCR stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or
make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the DVD/VCR is exposed to the breeze from an air
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the DVD/VCR.
25. LASER BEAM
Do not look into the opening of the disc tray or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the
laser beam. It may cause sight damage.
26. DISC
Do not use a cracked, deformed, or repaired disc. These discs are easily broken and may cause serious
personal injury and product malfunction.
27. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con-
nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
TO USE AC POWER SOURCE
Use the AC polarized line cord provided for operation on AC. Insert
the AC cord plug into a standard 120V 60Hz polarized AC outlet.
NOTES:
•
Never connect the AC line cord plug to other than the specified
voltage (120V 60Hz). Use the attached power cord only.
•
If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized AC
outlet, do not attempt to file or cut the blade. It is the user’s
responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
•
If you cause a static discharge when touching the unit and the
unit fails to function, simply unplug the unit from the AC outlet
and plug it back in. The unit should return to normal operation.

and connect it to the DVD/VCR. Then connect the DVD/VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connecting
an antenna system to a DVD/VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection
diagram.
If both VHF and UHF antennas have 300 ohm twin lead (flat) wires, use a combiner having two 300
ohm inputs and one 75 ohm output.
